Pynn's Number Up

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

A bad run for Adam Pynn in the last few levels has ended with a final beat from Matthew Gray. Moving all in preflop with {a-}{k-} for around 40,000, he was called by Gray with {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}. He held over the {4-Clubs}{10-Spades}{k-Hearts} flop, but the middle pin {j-Hearts} on the turn gave Gray the broadway straight. Hopes of tying died with the {j-Diamonds} river and Pynn headed to the rail with a "gee gee" to the table.

Tablemate Will Lawrence expressed sympathy for Pynn's run: "He lost king-queen to king-ten before, too. He got it in great - he'd have 100k now."

Stancer Busts Mulhall; Described as "Hoover"

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Daniel Stancer, chip leader (and apparent "chip hoover" too) raised to 10,000 after an under the gun limp from Stephen Harris. Over to Dominic Mulhall, who moved all in for 32,000. The blinds and Harris cleared out of the pot, and Stancer snap-called.

Stancer: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Mulhall: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and an unfortunate spot with a premium hand sees the last of Mulhall (for today, at least).

Ponomarev Triples Up, then Polishes Off Dunwoodie

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Dunwoodie, done
Dunwoodie, done

A three-way all-in breathed new life into the stack of Nikolay Ponomarev in Level 11 as his {a-}{10-} hit two tens to beat {7-}{7-} and {q-}{q-} and hand him a just-under-average 65,000.

Soon thereafter, the active Thomas Dunwoodie got his last few chips in preflop with {10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}, called by Ponomarev with {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}. Dunwoodie spiked a jack on the flop, but Ponomarev caught the {a-Spades} on the river to bust him.

Stancer Busts Corlett to Cement Monster Chip Lead

Level 10 : 800/1,500, 1,500 ante
Stancer in a commanding lead
Stancer in a commanding lead

Consistently counted in the top five in chips all day, Daniel Stancer now has an official monster stack, having just seen off Matthew Corlett. On the river, with a big decision, Stancer was looking at the {j-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs}{k-Spades}{q-Clubs} board and the river jam from his opponent (it looked to be around 32,000). Eventually he threw in a chip signifying the call and Corlett showed down {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Stancer's top pair top kicker ({a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}) was good to bust his opponent, who said, "I didn't think you were that strong. Nice call."

Kendall Consistently Stacked

Level 10 : 800/1,500, 1,500 ante

Connor Kendall, who has been solidly above average in chips for many levels, opened to 3,200 in mid position, called by Keith Forster alone. Kendall led out for 4,000 on the {10-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{a-Hearts} flop, and Forster called. Both players checked the {8-Hearts} turn, and Kendall checked a final time on the {j-Spades} river. Forster threw in 6,000, which was swiftly matched; Kendall's rivered two pair with {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} took the pot.
